An adventure we won’t forget anytime soon!
An Unforgettable Safari with Marco Polo!
We booked a jeep with a driver through Marco Polo to take us from Ukunda to Salt Lick Lodge, including several game drives. And what an adventure it turned out to be!
Everything was perfectly organised. Our driver arrived right on time, and the entire safari went exactly as planned.
Our driver was quite a character! An enthusiastic man who seemed to know just about everyone in the safari park. Almost every jeep we passed was an opportunity for a little chat and, of course, to find out where the animals had been spotted.
And it certainly paid off! We saw lions playing and eating, three cheetahs on the hunt, plenty of elephants, giraffes, zebras, and so much more.
Our driver definitely had his own way of doing things. Sometimes we wanted to stop somewhere, but he simply kept driving. He clearly preferred to follow his own instincts, and looking back, he obviously knew exactly what he was doing. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife!
The roads were quite bumpy at times, so we returned home with a few bruises, sore muscles, and a serious dose of exhaustion. But most importantly, we came back with wonderful memories and huge smiles on our faces!
Tired, a little shaken up, but absolutely delighted!
A big thank you to Marco Polo and our enthusiastic driver for this amazing safari. An adventure we won’t forget anytime soon!

Amazing
It was an amazing experience! From the moment we booked until the very end of our safari, everything was fantastic.
John, our guide from Sensation of Africa, took us on an incredible six-day adventure. He made sure we got to see the Big Five, which was exactly what we had hoped for, haha!
All in all, it was an unforgettable experience. What an amazing holiday!
If you’re ever thinking about booking a safari, I highly recommend Sensation of Africa.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Mama Savana!
From beginning to end, our trip with Mama Savana Safaris was truly unforgettable!
Mama Savana Safaris organized everything flawlessly from the very start. The communication and planning were seamless, making the entire booking process effortless and giving us total peace of mind.
Our guide, Izack, made the entire tour extraordinary. He took such wonderful care of us throughout the trip and ensured we felt completely safe and comfortable at all times. He is incredibly sweet, attentive and reliable. Thanks to his expertise, we were fortunate enough to witness both the Great Migration and all of the Big 5!
If you are looking for top-notch service, total reliability, and incredible value for money on a safari, we cannot recommend Mama Savana Safaris highly enough!!

Perfectly organized safari with fantastic guide Godwin, we saw the Big Five and the great wildebeest
We had an incredible safari experience with Whistling Travel. Special thanks to our guide Godwin, who is extremely knowledgeable, patient and brilliant at spotting wildlife. Everything was well arranged. We were lucky to see the Big Five and the breathtaking wildebeest river crossing. The lodges were wonderful. We highly recommend them!

Excellent
From the initial search for a private safari, Plex came out on top for many reasons.
The communication and information was first class, we paid a 20% deposit on booking and the balance on arrival, which was really good.
On arrival we were greeted by our guide ‘Joseph’ who was amazing throughout our safari. His knowledge, humour and passion about his role, his love of wildlife and his tremendous personality made our experience better than we could have imagined.
We will definitely be returning and booking through Plex and of course requesting Joseph as our guide.

An exciting and endlessly memorable magical journey
1. Itinerary: June 18 - June 26,
1.2. Entry through Kenya, then travel to Tanzania, and return to Kenya (in retrospect, it would have been better to enter Kenya and exit through Tanzania).
3. Site Review:
3.1 Lake Nakuru National Park / Lake Nakuru Lodge: The accommodation was excellent, the environment first-class, and the scenery beautiful; warthogs and zebras drink water in the pond next to the restaurant, and birds fly around... It was my first time seeing elephants, giraffes, rhinoceroses, and zebras in the wild.
3.2 Amboseli National Park / Praro Amboseli: It is recommended to stay for 2 nights, as the accommodation is very good and herds of elephants can be seen everywhere... lions sleeping... Since we only stayed one night, there wasn’t enough time to photograph the distant mountains and animals.
3.3 Tarangire National Park / Ikumbi Safari Lodge: Due to the presence of a volcano, this area has unique landforms. Bright sunshine alternates with continuous mists, creating scenes where water and sky blend or burst into vibrant colors. Various small animals roam freely, unaware they are being watched by lions, while flamingos feed elegantly and rest in a distinctive manner, making the experience profoundly beautiful all together.
3.4 Central Serengeti National Park / Tukaone Serengeti Camps: It is recommended to stay 2-3 nights. During the migration season, the movements of wildebeest and zebra herds differ. In June-July, it is advisable to be near the Masai Mara River. During this visit, due to the start of animal migrations, finding the Big Five requires guided safaris led by Frank & Alex, relying on their experience and courage. We especially saw leopards, large herds of unusually handsome zebras, and various birds. At this time, humans are no longer special but merely participants in nature.
Summary: Africa's climate is very suitable for safari, with significant temperature differences between morning and evening, so sun and dust protection is necessary. The local professional safari company (*Rioba Safaris) left a strong impression with their expertise and responsibility, provided that one knows what kind of safari is desired; even last-minute itinerary changes can be handled properly (including variations in airport departures or arrivals). For flights, it is recommended to choose international airlines (such as Qatar Airlines). Although accommodation and food are somewhat limited by local conditions, they have their distinctive charm. Social security is generally safe, and foreigners are treated very friendly, especially the Maasai people and their way of life. The acts of kindness from the guide Frank towards them were particularly touching. We also purchased some of their local specialty products (paintings and jewelry are very interesting). We would definitely visit again if given the chance.

Outstanding experience- Mulie Wonday
This was my 9th visit to Africa, 1st time In Ethiopia. He was the BEST guide that I have seen to date! His knowledge, professionalism, and patience made this trip memorable. I can’t wait to go back and learn more from him about Northern Ethiopia.

Sensational. Top the top.
We had an amazing family safari holiday thanks to Galloping.
Walter, its owner, has organised everything in an exceptional way.
We continue with a full heart after our exceptional trip to Tanzania.
With my wife and our four children, from 9 to 18 years old we will never forget it.
Everything turned out to be a perfect trip.
The children and us enjoyed it, that it had no inconvenience.
Sulley was a great guide, he was always available and his knowledge was of great help to everyone.
The hotels chosen were also very good.
The food, the jeep, the times, everything.
We will surely return in the future.

Outstanding expertise and excellent in Public relation.
Exceptionally well organized. It is worth your money. We could cover maximum safari while seeing large herds of animal.
